It's a pleasant ride up through Szyndzielnia, with a consistent, moderate incline and a few steeper sections before the Szyndzielnia summit. Only behind the refuge do you have to push the bike for a short distance, then it's back to a pleasant and wide trail towards Klimczok, where pushing the bike may be necessary near the summit depending on your strength. At the very top is a large meadow, and a refuge a little lower down. In good weather, you can see the Tatras from the summit.

The "Klimczok" mountain shelter is located at an altitude of 1,034 meters above sea level. A wooden shelter called "Klementynówka" was built in 1872. In 1914, after numerous renovations, the shelter was opened to tourists. The shelter hosts "White" and "Green" schools and summer camps, which are often highlighted by the shelter's outdoor swimming pool and 7-meter-high climbing wall.

The ascent along the blue route is quite good from a sporting perspective, but the scenery isn't great. The hiking trail is quite wide (actually, much too wide), littered with quite a bit of trash (!), but the worst part is that you walk almost the entire time below/near the two chairlifts (on rocky ski slopes). If you're looking for nature, you're in the wrong place! 🌳⛰️😐 P.S.: It feels like people in Poland drink beer instead of water on the ascent/descent, which would explain all the empty beer cans along the trails 😵. I find this kind of treatment of nature appalling 🤮! All in all: 👎👎👎
